NEWS NOTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN
METROPOLIS OF INTEREST TO
NEWS READERS.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
A certain traveling man by the
nam© of Morgan who claims that
he represents a Knoxville cloth
ing house, was in the city last
week, arid while in conversation
with your correspondent told a
tale concerning a recent visit of
his to the city of Brevard
that might be of interest to the
News. The writer has been un
able to verify his statement but
will repeat it as it w’as told to him
by Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan
said: “I carry several sample
trunks with me on the road and
had them checked through from
Asheville to Brevard one day last
week. When I arrived in Bre
vard and got in the bus at the
depot 1 was accosted by the tow’n
mai’shall of that place who placed
me under arrest, demanding the
keys to my trunk. I declined’to
give up my keys. When I asked
him if he had a w^arrant for me
and what the charge was, he
would give me no satisfaction but
conducted me up tow a and locked
me up. -‘I w'as not drunk and
had committed no offence either
on the train coming from Ashe
ville to Brevard or on alighting
on the platform and getting in
the bus to go to the hotel. So I
was somewhat mystified at the
reception I received and was
good and mad. I w^as not only
locked up for over an hour, but
ray trunks at the depot were
broken open and searched. I
was later released on a thirty dol
hir cash bond which I put up out
of my expense more/. The
officer and the agent at the depot
wanted to turn over my trunks to
me after they had been broken
open, but I declined to accept
them, and I still have the South
ern railway baggage check for
them.” Mr. Morgan then con
tinued: “I have communicated
with my house in Knoxville and
they are behind me in this mat
ter. I have engaged attorneys
and propose to sue the Southern
railw^ay for turning over my
trunks to the city officer of Bre
vard, and I intend suing the city
of Brevard for false imprison
ment, damage of my character,
and also for my loss of time and
profits on a sale that I was going
to make to one of the leading mer
chants of that city.” When Mr.
Morgan talked to your correspon
dent he was still at a loss to know
why he had been arrested and
was apparently very much in
censed over his treatment. Mr.
Morgan did not make his state
ment for publication, as he did
not know^ that he was telling his
story to a newspaper man and
the correspondent of the Bre
vard paper, but he did not mince
his words and talked as though
he meant business. His state
ment was made in the presence
of a gentleman who w’as a former
resident of Transylvania county,
and this gentlepan can verify
the statement made by Mr. Mor
gan to me.
[We have interviewed all of our
town anthorities and find that
the story told by Mr. Morgan is
without foundation, and is evi
dently circulated toinjurethe rep
utation of Brevard.--Ed. News.]
As stated in this correspond
ence last week the Buncombe
county authorities -have been
looking into the inatter as to
where George Vauderbilt pays
his personal taxes, as he does
not pay them here at Asheville.
The agents of Mr. Vanderbilt in
New York city claim that'he pays
his taxes at that place; but search
ers there have failed to find any
record pertaining to same. Mr.
Vanderbilt telegraphed the fol-
ing to parties in this'city: ‘’Have
always paid and still pay taxes in
New York.” But until Auditor
Stokley of Buncombe receives an
answer to his inquiry from the
mayor of New York there is no
official information to determine
whether Mr. Vande-rbilt pays his
personal taxes in New York or
not.
Since w’riting the above con
cerning Mr. Vanderbilt’s taxes
your correspondent has learned
)n good authority that Auditor
Stokley has received an official
r3onimunication from*New York
t3 the ellect that Mr. Vanderbili
does pay his persona: taxes there
and that the other information
was an error.

been used by the country people
for hitching their teams, and in
fact it is the only available loi
corvenient to the business sec
tion of the city suited for thih
purpose. Recently this lot was
rented and fenced in with the
result that at the present writinj:
the farmers who come to Ashe
ville have no free hitching place
convenient. They have to patron
ize certain socalled hitch and
feed stables at a cost of from
25 to 50 cents each time they
visit the city. The farmers are
mad because they are denied the
privilege that had so long been
theirs and a number of them con
tend that the lot was leased by
certain stable men in an effort to
force them to use their stables
The stable men say they had
nothing to do with the leasing
and fencing in of the lot, and that
the parties who did lease it need
ed the lot to put their own stock
in. At any rate Asheville is
without a public hitching place
for the farmers, and the farmers
say that the city should see that
they are provided with one.
February 21st has been set by
the county commissioners of
Buncombe for a good roads elec
tion to decide w^hether the county
shall issue bonds to the extent of
§250,000; the money to be used to
defray the expenses of immedi
ately macadamizing the principal
highways of the county. The
bond issue has a strong backing
among the most influential men
of this county and the commis
sioners, the Good Roads Associa
tion and the people all seem to be
in favor of the issuing of the
bonds, it is stated that the bond
issue wull not increase the taxes,
as the present 15 cent road tax
will be sufficient to cover the in
terest.
While responding to an alarm
last Saturday afternoon the hook
and ladder ran into a telephone
pole at the corner of Patton and
French Broad avenues, with the
result that the wagon was badly
smashed and several people in
jured. Hooper Caffee, a Citizen
reporter, who was riding on the
truck at the time of the accident,
was caught between the truck
and the pole and had his collar
bone broken and sustained other
injuries about the body. Two
members of the fire company
were thrown from the fast mov
ing truck and one of them had his
hand badly mashed. Fire Chief
Barnard was on the truck at the
time and was thrown heavily to
the pavement and bruised some
what. The fire to which the com
pany w^as responding was a small
one and w^as easily extinguished.
On the return of the company to
the tire hall Chief Barnard dis
charged the driver of the truck
team, basing his action on negli
gence of duty, to-wit: “Careless
driving. ”
At the present wanting nosum-
Inons has been issued by th cred-
it.ors of tlie Toxaway Hotel com
pany to force the company into
bankruptcy. ' The action has
been deferred, so it is stilted, to
enable other creditors to tile
their claims. The creditor^want
to wait until they can hear from
the^ officers of the hotel company
ind ascertain what they propose
to do in the matter. It is certain
that w’hen action is taken by the
creditors that there will be a hard
legal battle and it has been stated
oy friends of President Burrowes
that the company is not bankrupt
ed as it still holds a lease on the
hotel for eight more years at $30. -

uable asset. r L. R. D.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able, to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. HalPs Catarrh
Cure is tlie only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a eonstitiitioiial dis
ease, requires a constitution;jI treal-
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blooil and mucons surfaces of tlse
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its w^ork. Tlie proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send,for list of testimonials.

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
On the Southern shores of his
toric Hampton Roads, eight miles
from the city of Norfolk, the
Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex
position is rapidly nearing com
pletion. Every department of
the work is being carried on with
marvelous speed and what was
only a year ago, an attractively
layed out park, has become an
Exposition, beautiful w’ith im
mense exhibit palaces, state and
government buildings, all under
roof and for the most part, of
permanent construction. The
auditorium and'convention hall,
one of the principal buildings of
the Exposition, is entirely com
plete and is being used tempora
rily for the offices of the Govern
or of Works, of the Exposition
and his able corps of as^stants
who are carrying on the work
with such credit.
The State’s exhibit palace, the
most imposing structure on the
grqunds, containing more than
350.000 square feet of exhibit
space, is also complete and will
be turned over by the contract
ors in a few days to the Exposi
tion Company, at which the in
stallation of the various exhibits
of the resources of the different
states will begin.
The Commercial pier of the
Exposition, extending out into
Ham pton Roadj, for ti .iist^ince »f
some 2,000 feet w^as finished sev
eral weeks ago, and is now’ being
used to bring in the construction
material for the many buildings
now in the course of erection.
The various , State buildings
grouped along the water front of
the Exposition are going up with
remarkable rapidity, those of
Rhode Island, New Jersey and
Connecticut, being ready for oc
cupancy; and those of Virginia,
Maryland, Massachusetts and
Ohio, almost as far advanced.
The many attractions of the War
Path, that v*ill correspond with
the “Pike” or “Mid w^ay” of form
er Expositions, presenting a live
ly picture of activity.,
Push and progress are every
where in evidence and the w^ork
on the grounds and general land
scape design, under the careful
supervision of the architects in
charge, together with the ad
vanced state of construction of
the buildings, gives every as
surance that the Jamestown Ter-
Centennial Exposition will be
completed in every detail for the
opening date, April 26th, 1907.
